New Rare Species: Lipor Snakehead

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
hi
channa lipor is a dwarf snakehead,so will be no good with oscars,pascal has some lipors,very shy channa.
the blue bleheri is channa assam and is subtropical.
 
no, i have a blue blerehi, channa pulchra and a lipor snakehead all in the one tank which has alot easier places to hide than the heater.

The temperature of the tank is currently is at 24 degrees celcius
 
what size does the channa lipor grow to then?

it is about 3 ft long by 14" in depth and 13" in height but this is only temperary as they will be going in a 4 ft tank with 2 Oscars when they reach an in-edible size

Wish dealers would give out instructions with SHs!
 
nobodys told us that we cant keep them together, we have actually been told by other people that you cant keep oscars and malawi's together, but we've proved them wrong and the tank is actually quite peaceful and nice.

With all due respect we were actually told by the dealer that it would be ok to keep blerehi and pulchra together, but i do appriciate what you are saying and may yet take action.
i have had tropic. fish for about 5 years, but never owned a snakehead, now i have 4 and have got to get by as best i can.
you are dead right about some of the dealers, we almost bought a chevron snakehead only a bit of research found it to be a meter long.

By the way your Picard pic was a classic
 
by the way the dealer told us the chevron only grew to 12 inches lol
 
Does anyone know what size the Lipor Snakehead grows to?

small.

How about a photo? It may not be a real Lipor.
Snakeheads are very commonly wrongly identified by dealers.
Don't worry about them "looking their best", just a quick shot would help us ID it for sure.
 
ill try but hes always hiding
 
it aint happening, i dont want to move anything and stress him, ill take a few pics when i clean the tank out
